We are overwhelmed by the number of entries for the International Alba Rosa Viëtor Composition Competition 2016. The jury – led by Dutch composer Willem Jeths – received more than 130 compositions from young composers from 38 countries! Willem Jeths and his team have taken a deep breath… and started to find out who will reach the final with his compositions! Thanks everyone!!
Sílvia Lanao Aregay (Spain, 1995) is the winner of the first prize, the Mary Viëtor Prize, of the Alba Rosa Viëtor Composition Competition with her composition Empordà. br />The second prize is divided between Mario Oyanadel Guiñez (Chile, 1990) with The only lifeline and Ramin Amin Tafreshi (Iran, 1992 ) with It’s the Voice that will Remain.
